Former President John Dramani Mahama urges Ghanaians to come together to work and build nation.
His request is in line with Ghana, which is celebrating 64 years of independence after British colonial rule.
In a brief message to Ghanaians on Saturday March 6, Mr. Mahama said, “We have only one nation, Ghana and we must work together to ensure the progress and growth of our dear nation. We can only do this if we guarantee equality, freedom and justice for all our citizens. “
Although the nation made some changes to its annual celebration due to the Covid-19 pandemic, a national event was held at the Jubilee House, which was attended by President Akufo-Addo and Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Addressing the nation as well, President Akufo-Addo urged all citizens to be committed to ensuring a self-sufficient country in the years to come.
According to the president, Ghana remains the beacon of hope for Africa and must therefore work to live up to expectations.
“We were the first nation in colonial Africa to gain independence from colonial rule. The mood of the citizens of this new state was one of unbridled excitement and jubilation over the prospects of what the future held in store.
“We have been an example for the rest of Africa to follow,” he said.
He added: “Dear Ghanaians, this is not beyond us. If we put our hearts and minds into it, we, who were the first to gain independence in colonial Africa, can do so and protect our heritage and our environment ”.
Despite several limitations that the coronavirus has presented, many Ghanaians have also turned to the various social media platforms to celebrate many years of independence and the role the country has played in the development of Africa.
